Crude palm oil futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives fell below RM2,500 per tonne, their lowest since November 2019, as broader equity and commodity markets sold off on Covid-19 concerns. Soybean oil also dropped on the Chicago Board of Trade and Dalian Commodity Exchange.
AmSpec data showed Malaysian palm oil exports for February 1-25 fell 3% from the January period.
Covid-19 lockdowns and event cancellations threatened consumer and business demand, weighing on vegetable oil prices and export flows. Lower palm and soy oil prices reduce the cost of these fats for feed formulators but signal weaker demand.
